Razer phone with Bluetooth car audio

Even today, bluetooth as a standard isn't very well implemented. My car (using a 2009 era alpine iva-w505 with add on bluetooth module) plays music fine, but has issues with understanding voice. The only time it understood my voice 100% of the time was with a windows mobile 6 phone (lg expo) that I went in and changed registry settings to manually improve bluetooth quality (the good old days when you could tweak your device without having to root or jailbreak) Think it's time for bluetooth implementation to improve or the platform needs to die for something better.

They probably blamed the car 1st since, to be honest, bluetooth as a standard is a mess most of the time. The bigger issue, as these threads have proven, is that there is an issue with bluetooth on the Razer Phone. I don't see how it would be so hard to revert the bluetooth stack and push out a minor update, but seeing how updates have been released, they probably think 1 big update is easier vs a bunch of smaller updates. What doesn't help is the lack of communication. Tier 1 support seems to be grasping at straws while no real info is being given.

Razer phone with Bluetooth car audio

Rox598Delays happen (that is of course if the Razer support guys were correct. I always find their answers to be wrong as they don't know that much and will say anything to get rid of you) I know the bluetooth issue is effecting loads of people and Razer are aware of it so I hope you guys get sorted soon. For sure, on top of that, never trust tier 1 support... just frustrating as Razer has no method outside of support for contact/suggestions nor do they mention any pending updates/features consistently. Add to that support has told various people differing bits of info throughout the entire time the phone has been out.

I can say that I have not had a single issue with my fitbit other than some delays in notifications, but running a blaze, not an ionic.

Latest update seems to have fixed bluetooth. It did for me at least. Connected to my car right away at startup

Razer phone with Bluetooth car audio

From personal experience, automotive bluetooth is the wild west of tech. what an example? I had to use the firmware for the UK version of my Alpine bluetooth module to work properly with most phones made after 2012. I've had my phones give issues in my friends 2018 Honda (factory system), I've seen issues on my brother's JVC in his car, etc. For me, once MR2 was installed, the second I turned on my car it connected. Only things I can suggest to try is 1: delete the association on both your head unit and phone, reboot and try again; 2: Look to see if updates are available for your headunit or 3: factory reset the phone and try again. Bluetooth as a standard has always had messy implementations.

Razer Phone USB OTG Features. Use Phone Like Workstation?

I have used HDMI/DisplayPort, mouse, keyboard and a usb flash drive via an old lumia dock I had. I haven't tried ethernet. android on the razer phone 1 works decently with some things, but I would not want to use it as a desktop/laptop replacement unless my laptop aan tablet are both dead and I have to absolutely get something done for work. If android ever got something similar to continuum that the Lumia 950s had, then yes, I would then.

Razer Phone USB OTG Features. Use Phone Like Workstation?

yeah, unlike the Switch that uses a lesser known standard, Samsung and MS enabled a "desktop" when plugging a USB-C video adapter (Continuum worked fine with any USB-C to HDMI adapter I threw at it, and well). If a "desktop" style mode is not enabled, the the device would just mirror the screen (unless the device uses USB 2.0, then it would use MHL)

Razer phone 2, apps crash, YouTube plys vids only low quality

For youtube, you may want to check your carrier... AT&T had a nice little setting that pretty much locked video to 480p from certain sites. They told me it shouldn't affect the phone, but it did.

ATT H+ vs Razer Phone 2

As someone on AT&T (and verizon on my work phone) there are some areas were you will get just crap throughput. Want an example? I travel a bit (would like to more) and every time I go visit my family (South of Miami, Fl) I have seen it get worse and worse over the last decade. When I was last there, I could not get above 1.5Mbps down unless I tried after 1am until about 6am! That was on both my phones, and my friend's phones on AT&T, T-mobile and various NVMOs... I don't know anyone with sprint, so I couldn't test. Get back to Vegas and my RP1 peaked at 120Mbps. When I am actually home, I get between 20-40Mbps. The issue is that US carriers are too busy with future tech and gaining customers instead of maintaining and upgrading infrastructure.(and in AT&T's case, fake 5G)

Screen cast problem

It only works with chromecast enabled devices. Chances are you TV is probably a miracast device. Annoying, frustrating and a bad call overall on Razer's part, but what can you do??

New to Android and Razer, need info on getting started properly.

If you're coming from an X3, you'll be happy to know Here Maps is available and works well. It includes offline maps as well.

mortal_1Return it. The longer I own this phone the more issues it has. Android auto doesn't work and now apps are freezing the phone. I've notice android auto is VERY hit or miss with all devices. On my friend's 2019 Odyssey it can work fine on 1 trip and the next trip he has to restart his phone (Motorola i forgot whatsit) or mine (razer phone) and wait for the app to crash on the HU before it'll work again.

Wish Razer was just a bit more open with their phone plans....the RP1 hasn't had an update in what, 6 months? It's still on last July's security update.

Razer phone 1 update?

Other than Min's comment, I (or anyone) has heard any real info about any update for the rp1. Really frustrating since at least security updates should be rolled out, but nothing at all since the rp2 released.

Razer Phone 1 abandoned by Razer

The worst part of all this is almost zero word from Razer.... "It's coming" doesn't feel truthful at the moment. Still on the Razer Phone 1, and while it gets the job done, Razer could at least give us security updates. I mean the last update was right before the Razer Phone 2, the security update included was already a few months old.

Razer Phone 2 Abandoned??

Feels as if everything Razer Phone (1 and 2) is abandoned... The price drops on the RP2 as well as almost no communication doesn't bode well.... which sucks as I love my RP1

I'm officially dumping this brick.

If I remember correctly.... the last update, that included the July security update was actually released in September, but that's besides the point. Zero updates since then... including fixes for bluetooth and other issues people have have been ignored. It's as if Razer thought everyone would ditch their RP1 for the RP2 on release. I mean, I love my RP1, but with razer's lack of support or even commenting on anything phone related, I cannot recommend anyone buy one at all.

just a comment from Razer stating one way or the other if rge RP1 is or isn't getting an update would be nice.Almost all support seemed to have disappeared once the RP2 was released less than a year after the RP1 and no real word from Razer since.

Well, the RP1 hasn't received a single update since right before the RP2 launched and even the RP2 seems to not be that up to date. Sure, it has pie, but when was the last update? Razer doesn't seem to even acknowledge anything phone related anymore short of selling the RP2 cheap. I mean there are still quite a few issues on the RP1 and it seems they will never get fixed. It's a shame really. On paper they are great devices, but all the bugs and whatnot just keep they phone from living up to it's potential. I mean, I tell everyone that while I do love my RP1, I also tell them to NOT buy a RP2 or used RP1 as support doesn't seem to exist.

gotta love "in coming weeks" comment...that can be anywhere between next week and next month, but at least Razer finally said something after months of silence.If I had to guess.... this will probably be the last update for the RP1.
